Record Store Day Black Friday—an extension of the annual celebration of independent music shops that has since turned into a bloated, navel-gazing mess hurting the exact stores it claims to support—is returning on November 27.

Pi'erre Bourne: The Life of Pi'erre 4.
Funkadelic: Live at Meadowbrook 1971.
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: Live at Tower Theater Philly 1975.
Masayoshi Takanaka: Super Selection.
Tom Verlaine: Live in NYC 1996 - 2006.
Bill Withers: Bill Withers in Concert - Live at the BBC, 1974.

RSD was founded in 2008 as a way to help drive customers to then-struggling indie retailers (and entice vinyl-loving cranks like myself), but in recent years has become a clearinghouse for increasingly ridiculous rarities; some notable stores have even refused to participate over profitability and distribution concerns.

While the 2027 edition likely won’t solve the well-documented issues the event continues to face, there are still gems worth braving a horde of Sombr fans to purchase.

Below, the Pitchfork staff has compiled a list of the best ones amid the nuclear-grade cringe: David Axelrod: David Axelrod Frank Black: Teenager Of The Year Pi'erre Bourne: The Life of Pi'erre 4 Fischerspooner: #1 Funkadelic: Live at Meadowbrook 1971 Vince Guaraldi Trio: A Charlie Brown Christmas (Advent Calendar Edition) Carly Rae Jepsen: Day and Night (Continued) Lil Wayne: No Ceilings Joni Mitchell: Live at Carnegie Hall - 1972 Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: Live at Tower Theater Philly 1975 Masayoshi Takanaka: Super Selection Tom Verlaine: Live in NYC 1996 - 2006 Ween: Shinola, Vol.
